My two penneth, can't comment on Searwood, but my experience with a Broil King pellet grill, which can reach a temp of 600* has been disappointing for searing steaks or even burgers. It nukes them before they get a nice colour. I've decided to move on after two years. I was looking at the SW...

Seen that one. Would want to see more, before making a decision.

Be interesting to se his cooks.

Just my opnion. I can't cook decent steaks etc in my indoor electric oven, which is what my BK pellet grill is. There's no direct flame, just radiant heat. Although it has cast iron grills that assist, by the time I get decent colour on the outside, the inside has been 'nuked'. Don't get me...

My two penny worth; I wanted the ease of a pellet grill. I don't own a Searwood but bought a Broil King pellet grill a couple of years ago, in preference to the Smokefire due to the then reviews it was getting. I've always favoured Weber bbq's so it was a big move for me. IMO my BK can't sear...

Has anybody been able to compare the two? Seen one review, which suggests little difference in smoke flavour between the two.

Think about support as well. I bought a Broil King pellet grill. First one didn't work, and although BK replaced it support since for a flaky app has been non existent.

Thanks for your replies Gents.

Question, does the smoke boost on the Searwood make any difference, does it improve the smoke flavour?

Yes seen the Ironwood & Timberline at my local Garden Centre, thats where BBQ's are mostly displayed in the UK. They are solidly built, but silly money really. Mrs's M wouldn't allow me. Cooking some steaks & Chinese belly pork on my BK in a short while, but secretly dreaming of the SW. By...

Had my Broil King for over a year now, and I'm tempted to get a SW. I want an all round BBQ, and I like the ease of a pellet grill. My BK is not bad, but just a few minor niggles. It's a pain to clean out, well bit of a faff. There's a fair bit to remove to get to the burn pot. Outside is...

We'll have to agree to disagree then. Perhaps its my Broil King. I've taken to add wood dust trays to increase the 'smokeyness'. Cooked fair few briskets on my WSM, can't get a similar bark on my BK.

I've had a WSM for some time, but I bought a Broil King pellet grill, just for the convenience. Pellet grills are great, but just don't give that total smoky experience IMO, that charcoal and or wood chunks can give you.

I could let you know the price of brisket :)

In the UK, we are paying the equivalent of $7.20, if my maths is correct.
